Clinical and biochemical measurements were performed at the beginning of
the study, after group randomization (group means ± standard error). C group,
the group assigned to corn oil supplementation; F group, the group assigned to
flaxseed oil supplementation; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure;
DBP, diastolic blood pressure. Statistical significance was determined using
Student’s t-test for p<0.05. NS, no significance. |
